Jep, a simple
	t3lib_div::makeInstance("Tx_Extbase_Dispatcher")
solved that issue. Thanks.

What did not really work was setting up the configuration in the  
dispatcher to allow fetching of records from all pages. But by creating a  
custom Repository method and setting
	$query->getQuerySettings()->setRespectStoragePage(false)
this could be solved. Although it would be nice being able to set this  
somewhere globally.

I need to try that yet - but thanks for the hint, I'm sure I would have  
forgotten that.
